So biz I'm planning on buying a pic related car. These go for about $5k to $8k. At these price ranges, they have about 300 000km(186411 miles) on them. I know what you are thinking already
>just buy a toyota corolla bro cars are a depreciating asset
I have $290k in LINK and some in shitcoins. I'm young and have driven around in a shitbox for 2 years now and the shitbox is starting to fall apart. I just want a nice car for the next year or 2 max. In europe the nice cars are basically bmw, audi, mercedes. I just like the bmw e60 the most and I have the $8k plus $2k for a year of maintenance to spend, after that I'll see how LINK is and either keep the car or downgrade, but for now I just want a nice car. Just tell me this, if I buy one with 300k km and the owner has done ok job on maintaining it and I don't plan to do fucking roadtrips with it everyday, will it run for a year without costing me over $2k in maintenance?

lmao it will cost you 2k every year in maintenance brand new and it only gets worse from there.

Suck it up and buy a gently used lexus if you actually want a luxury car with cheap upkeep.

friend at work bought one of the v8 bmws used, ended up spending more than he paid for the car to fix it up + mechanic fees. they;re nigger rich cars, buy something that doesn't break all the time.

old BMW's are generally a terrible idea, very poor reliability, even if well maintained.
If you want a reliable luxury daily car then get a Lexus. Alternatively, buy a newer reliable econobox as a daily and get yourself something nice for the weekends.

>> No.21932144

BMW petrols are reliable, diesels cost a fortune to repair. Suspension components are expensive. If suspension has no knocks, clunks or vibrations then they are decent reliable cars. Avoid diesels like the plague. Look up common faults for e60 and be sure to check for them before purchase.Iirc the steering motor goes on these and costs a fortune.

Idk I don't want to spend more than $8k and the good nice looking golfs do cost more. I don't really care that much about reliability since I'm not planning on owning it for a long time.

>buying one of the most unreliable cars of the 21st century so far
You're going to need a LOT more than $2k per year to fix and maintain it bruv. I'm Clapistani, but I assume these cars are a pain in the ass and unreliable as hell in Europe as well.

>> No.21932280

buy a facelift, very important! The first gen has a ton of problems. Go for 200.000 km, 300.000 is a lot for a 520, but ok for a 540 v8 with good services. 2k should be ok. Dont go for the 520 Diesel, they also has a lot off unsolved problems. Best choice is the 530i.

Welp fuck me guys I just want a nice looking ride from outside and inside that doesn't cost a fortune to maintain for a year. The problem with Lexuses here is that there are no parts so when something breaks it's gonna be expensive or I would have to go to the main dealership which is gonna be expensive.

Jesus fucking I literally have to baghold LINK til I'm at $5m to buy a fucking nice looking car fuck this shit.

No . 186k miles. You’ll buy the car and parts maintainence initially, then every 3 months you’ll have to buy old, expensive proprietary bmw parts to maintain. .

5-6k in repair for forst year

There's a nice looking 525 3.0 145kw 2008 diesel with 250k km costing about $7k. I'm guessing that's a money pit as well? Problem with gasoline cars here is that gas costs 1.3x more than diesel and diesel cars consume less as well compared to gas cars so really I'll be paying 2x more for gas.

>> No.21932398

if you need to change the breaks , go for a pair EBC Red Stuffs with EBC Turbo grooves, exelent brekas! The OEM sucks and ATE sucks too.

Go to a BMW passionat forum, and never ask a questions like this in biz.

yes the 525 has unsolveing fucking problems, thats why they selling it. Generaly a 5ersierie can hold for 20 years. dont buy it, look for a 520 with low millage or a 530i

Just buy BOsch party instant of BMW, its the same but without BMW label. BMW like BOSCH parts, the prices are ok.

Yeah this is what a lot of folks do here. I'll try going on a bmw forum. This car choosing shit is so fucking exhausting I wish there just a price tag and be done with it. Also why the fuck are there so many ugly cars? Why did the designers of hyundai and renault and all those fucking brands deliberately design cars so fucking badly in the years of 2000 to like 2010.

>> No.21932625

>>21931979
probably not.
motorwise yes but you need to check on the waterpump, thermostat, servo tank, DISA, sensor for airquality, new battery, new oil of course, probably new sealings, maybe radiator hose and new coolant, new tires, new ignition coils to be on the safe side, a new chassis, strut bearings, track rod end and when youre unlucky a new power steering pump.
but otherwise the E60 is a beautiful BMW with a very good engine.
